Start Your Career in Nursing

Our nursing programs offer a variety of education tracks and career options within
the nursing career field. From our degree programs in vocational nursing to registering
nursing, our courses prepare you with the skills and expertise to succeed in the quickly
growing career field of nursing.

Vocational Nursing

The Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) Program is an 11 month program that leads to a
Certificate of Nursing Achievement and eligibility to sit for the NCLEX-PN licensing
exam, the licensure exam required to become a LVN. Completion of the LVN program and
licensure allows you to apply to enter the second year of the RN program using the
LVN to RN career ladder option.

Registered Nursing

The Registered Nursing program leads to an Associate in Science Nursing Degree (ADN)
with a Certificate of Achievement in Registered Nursing. Upon successful completion, you will be eligible to sit for the National Council
Licensing Examination-Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN).

LVN to RN (career ladder) Nursing Program

The LVN to RN career ladder option is for licensed LVNs who wish to become an RN.
LVN students complete a Nursing Role Transition (Nurs 210) course and enter the ADN
generic program in the 3rd of four semesters. The admission and completion requirements
for the ADN generic program and the LVN to RN career ladder program are the same.
